The purpose of this page is to build list of the existing web frameworks for the production and deployment of Lisp web applications.

Specialized libraries or website dedicated APIs should be listed in Web and not here. Frameworks considered deprecated (without any support or updates for a while and consequently out of date) should not be referred to here (or in a separate table).

PS : Data on this page may not be up to date, please refer to the date of the last edition especially regarding the "Last update" of each framework.

Not much. The authors believe that libraries meant for programmers should be implemented in a such a clear fashion that only a bird's view documentation is needed and a large body of unit tests and examples.

Runs openly available (but login protected) applications on the net developed for two ministries of the Hungarian government. About 5000 users, 500 concurrent users at peak time.

once IOlib gets the extension

supports sessions, continuations are optional

pluggable, hu.dwim.perec is integrated

supports a component based UI model that gets rendered into XHTML+JavaScript with AJAX support

50+ libraries; install script is provided

Tested only on SBCL. Should be 99% CL standard compliant, but requires full CLOS MOP support.

In the ballpark of 3000 req/sec of a dynamically generated html page rendering back a properly (un)escaped request parameter. On a 2GHz dual core laptop, running both the tester and the framework, loading the codebase in production mode with debugging level set to warnings and above. As of this writing the codebase is limited to a one worker thread per request operation, which limits the number of live concurrent (slow) connections to the number of threads (about 50-100).
